Get the .246 leak its the same thing and flash t manually in stock recovery why wait? Or Google [house of bionic] very easy and works great.

.246 is the official release and you will be on the upgrade path again.

I'm in New England - nothing here yet

I'm in CT....no OTA yet, so I decided to try HoB, just for the experience.

Make sure to leave the update on your ext sdcard so if anything ever goes wrong you can use the reinstall option and save from boot loop or brick as LNG as you leave that update file there.

The process s actually very easy and explains it step by step. My only mistake was I had to extract the files from the fwz set up file. At first when I launched the .bat file said files were missing from there. I extracted the files and piece of cake from there.
I just made a folder on my homescreen and put everything in one folder. Also roots it for you as well.

Did you get the invitational emails for the soak? Did you check in on the moto forum? If you got the invites but not the system update you could have requested a re-push to your MEID. However the soak is now over. The general release will be within a few days. Either download the 246 soak or wait it out. Sorry you missed it.
South Carolina here. I got it early yesterday morning.

i am from India ,
still not received OTA.

Hello from Ukraine!!!

OMG

Invite received for something. For what I don't know...
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda app-developers app
haha me too
I did too. I am afraid to install official ICS Beta. Have the phone working so nicely right now. You know what, I'm not going to do it. For 3 reasons:
1) Am already running .232 already, no point in reverting it back to .905 just to install basically the same thing which isn't even the finished products.
2) They asked if I have rooted. If I answer yes, there goes my warranty for sure.
3) Hmm had one but forget what it was.
Either way, I will wait for official to come out and get peoples reviews. For all I know it will be crappier than .232 and I won't be able to go back to GB.
Same. Tingling with anticipation. Already defrosted my bloatware.
LOL well i was talking about a wedding invite. Wink wink. But y'all continue on.

Only emails to invite went out, soak hasn't actually stated yet.
And yes. Stock [currently] sucks...
Do you have to be running .905 to receive the invite? Or just to receive the soak...
I have gotten the invite / soak in the past, but I was never rooted / running a leak before. This time I'm on .232 leak.
Thoughts?
Need to be on .905 to participate.

To clarify you don't have to be on .905 for the invite, that is just emailed and you fill out a survey. You do have to be on .905 to get the OTA update (or to pull it once available).

ICS Soak Push In The AM

Soak is pushing tomorrow AM......... About to FXZ back to .905.........
Just got the email myself. We'll see what we're dealing with pretty soon. Not loving these "this won't take us to JB" mutterings, but I'm an optimist.

Ummmm..... I believe Motorola will still push the soak test out. It's possible Verizon pushes it shortly after, but who knows. I think Droid 4 went down that way. Verizon said, "It's here". Soak test next day. Push to end-users the following evening. I could be wrong though. Too many chiefs, not enough Indians.
Yes it's doing an ota today. It's already being pushed. I'm trying to get someone who's rooted to pull it and get me the md5 hash for it.

The OTA update was a bit of an ordeal. Phone was out of commission for an hour and change, but so worth it. Snappy even on the stock launcher, but now that I have Nova installed it's even better. We'll see how battery life works as we go, but initial impression is positive overall.

Give it 3-4 days to settle down. Battery life is very good after that.

I figured as much. One minor annoyance is that in trying to go back and re-root after the update, I can't seem to get mass storage switched off, which iirc is a prereq for getting Pete's to work. Anyone have a workaround for this?

Yes. I've verified. What's pushing out is the same as the leak I posted with the House. MD5 is identical.

Um, Pete's root won't work on ICS unless he's updated it. Search for razr's edge. And you're looking for MTP mode in ICS.

OTA update to improve camera - sprint?

So I'm seeing these articles about the sprint moto x getting an update but I haven't received or seen much talk about the sprint version on here getting that update. Is it still only hitting certain areas? Could someone maybe get us sprint users that are unlocked get a stock system.img and boot.img with that update applied?

Please god. I've been trying to find ANYTHING that can put this update on my phone. Nobody has posted the update.zip or any of the images or anything. I've seen people say they've received the update, but that's about it. I really want this update.
Minus the release notes I have seen very little about this update from anyone that has it. I would like to hear what people are seeing.

Ok so I got the update a few days ago and it failed to install because I'm unlocked and rooted and all that jazz. So I grabbed the zip file out of /cache and uploaded it here:
https://db.tt/oqP3l1Qs
For what it's worth, the last few times I've checked for an update, my phone says I'm up to date even though I'm still on 4.2.
Edit: Dropbox instead of Drive
Edit: Just realized this zip is the same software version I already have. Then why did my phone tell me it was an update to be downloaded?
Sent from my XT1056 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I know it isn't much help but I was in the Sprint Store yesterday and their demo phone had the update sitting ready to install. They wouldn't let me get ahold of it and take it off though. Could have very easily done so in a few minutes.

Im booting up right now right after flashing to read my build prop and build number...Will also check camera performance.
Someone please go to their about phone section and tell me their kernel version, everything in their please, post an SS!
Someone posted that the initial roll-out was a test run and only sent to a fraction of Sprint users. The main roll-out is supposed to happen on October 2.

If you a running a sprint Moto X, could you take an SS of your about phone sections so I could see your system and kernel version please. The update I just installed has appeared to upgraded my kernel version as well, and I want to make sure I am accurate when I say that.

Anyway to install the OTA zip without root? Never done that and don't want to root just yet.
EDIT* Never mind... found out how to enter recovery mode and select update from zip without rooting the device.
Confirmed as well - this is 139.14.4

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to use this update on Verizon branded Moto X's? I don't know if this update includes radios or basebands. Also, where the hell is the tmobile apk for the camera??
Update applied. Worked just fine just like the other guy said. Anyone who wants the update can do this through stock recovery.
Sent from my XT1056 using Tapatalk 4
So can I get the step by step instructions to apply this manually. I have downloaded the file from the drop box link here in this thread. I do not have rot nor is my boot loader unlocked. I can get phone into recovery via fast boot and selecting recovery but all I get is an android laying down with an error stating no command. I have moved the file to the root of my SD card but am unable to put it into cache obviously without root access.

LG G Flex 4.4

So rumor has it right now that theres an update coming out for the G Flex next month in April that is supposed to include 4.4 and also knock code. Do you guys think that this is an update everyone should do? Or is it going to make it even harder for people trying to unlock the bootloader if we update?

I'm pretty sure the current root method won't work once the Flex is updated to KitKat. I know with the G2 a developer was able to make a stock KitKat Rom with Root quickly. Not sure the Flex will be so lucky since the Flex seems more locked down then the G2. I was a flash whore but I'm cool with stock for now.

Sprint is usually quick with updates so hopefully they push it out real soon
Gonna be awhile I'd imagine for US due to most of the carriers taking their good Ole time pushing them through. Just bought mine today and has 4.2.2, lol! I had 4.3 on my note 2. I wish I had a time machine like that, haha!

there haven't been any updates on the flex, so no one knows if you can do it or not..

according to all the internet rumor mills/sources, its coming sometime in the next 30 days.
since each carrier has their own "version" that they push, it could be alot sooner or alot later, depending on your carrier..
